| Axl
Arrested |
antiMusic reports: Guns N' Roses hasn't truly
returned until someone get arrested and leave it to frontman Axl Rose to
make it official. In a bizarre story coming out of Sweden, Rose was arrested
for violent conduct, damaging a hotel room and threatening police. Damaged
hotel rooms are nothing new in rock n roll but the strangeness comes from
reports that Axl bit a security guard in the leg.
The fun and games took place at the Berns
Hotel in Stockholm following the Guns N' Roses concert at the Globe Arena
on Monday night. Stockholm Police Department spokesperson told MTV News
that the trouble began when Rose got into an altercation with a woman at
the hotel's bar and when a security guard stepped in, Rose attacked him.
"He bit him on the leg and then the hotel staff called the police and we
came and apprehended him," Hagg said.
Police arrested Rose and placed him in
a jail cell to sober up before questioning him. He does face possible jail
time; especially for the charge of threatening a police officer (details
about that charge were not available at press time).
Billboard is reporting that Rose was released
from jail Tuesday evening, after he admitted to the charges and agreed
to pay a fine of $5,500 and $1,360 in damages to the security guard. -

| Deluxe
Sublime |
PR reports: Anyone familiar with the explosion
of alternative rock in the 1990s knows one of the greatest injustices of
the period was that Sublime singer-songwriter-guitarist Bradley Nowell
did not live to see the release and massive success of Sublime. The Long
Beach trio's major-label debut, Sublime, spawned the Top 5 Modern Rock
hits "What I Got," "Wrong Way" and "Santeria" and the Top 30 "Doin' Time,"
and went on to sell more than five million copies in the U.S. alone. To
celebrate the 10th anniversary of the self titled Sublime and to pay tribute
to Nowell's original vision, is the two disc Sublime Deluxe Edition (Geffen/UMe/Gasoline
Alley/Skunk) released on August 15, 2006. The digitally remastered Deluxe
Edition includes, for the first time ever, the original unreleased version
of "Doin' Time" in its rightful place with Nowell's original vocal track
fully restored. The Deluxe Edition also contains 15 bonus tracks, 8 previously
unreleased, plus remixes and videos.
Disc One of the Deluxe Edition restores
the self-titled Sublime to its original intended sequence as Nowell had
created at famed LA mastering studio, Bernie Grundman's. The disc includes
both Nowell's initial opener, the Bob Marley cover of "Trenchtown Rock,"
and the original version of "Doin' Time", the band's interpretation of
George and Ira Gershwin's American standard "Summertime". [see full story
